A MAJOR office supplies chain has announced it will be closing another location.

Staples, a home office supply retail chain which has been in business since 1986, will be closing a location in Westfield, Massachussets.

The Staples at 273B E. Main St. in the Westgate Plaza will be shuttering its doors on October 6.

That means there's still time to grab necessary supplies for the school year before it shuts.

It comes as the company announced they were closing other locations in the northeast.

In April, a major Staten Island Staples store announced it was shutting its doors.

Long before the pandemic, Staples has been trimming its fleet, closing more than 200 stores in the process.

To find a local open Staples, you can use the company's store locator tool.

Four major retailers have been forced to close dozens of locations across the United States as they have filed for bankruptcy during this year’s “retail ice age.”
